booknerderika's review against another edition
5.0
This was so beautifully written and I slowly became bonded to these women which made some scenes so much harder to read through. Including the different perspectives really showed the way that trauma can show up differently for everyone. I also liked how we slowly unraveled the story of what really happened by piecing together everyone's memories and stories. I was absolutely devastated when I read the scene with the newspaper article and again at the end because I knew what was going to come from that decision.
Rum also found a way to elegantly weave in the struggles of the Palestinian people back in Palestine so that readers could understand that even with all the struggles the characters faced in the U.S. it was still nothing compared to the struggles of losing their land and homes.
